Born in Brantford, Ontario (1885) - Lawren Harris ranks right up there as being my very favourite Canadian landscape painter of the impressive "Group of Seven". Harris was a founding member and chief spokesman of this illustrious group of artists.
Born into a family of great wealth - This allowed Harris plenty of advantage to pursue his interest in becoming an accomplished artist. And he soon developed into a true pioneer of a very distinct and a very Canadian painting-style.
Written by James King - "Inward Journey" is a first-rate pictorial biography of Lawren Harris.
*Note* - In 1970 - Lawren Harris (84 at the time) died of natural causes.
P.S. - At a recent art auction (2016) in Toronto - Harris's "Mountain Forms" sold for $11.2 million.
